Although these shoes aren't the speed demon boots I have usually bought in the past these boots are not as heavy as I would have imagined. I bough these boots because I am getting into my 20's now and realize a solid perfected touch can outperform a player who runs his engine to the ground (most of the time that is), also I am not as fast as I used to be. To get going these shoes are extremely comfortable. I cant speak enough about the feeling these have on my feet. As I said before I am used to speed demon shoes like the puma V series ( which isn't a terrible boot) but nothing compared to the touch of these El Goro shoes.Pros: Comfort, Durability, TOUCH,Middle Ground: Shooting, Curling (I'm not a pro but can tell between shoes)Cons: Weight (not for a vapor fan) Love my El Goro's!it's good, it fits perfectly, not heavy, but not too light either.I'm not sure the material is going to last long. I bought it specifically because it was not made from synthetic stuff, but real kangaroo leather, it turns out it the outside material didn't feel like my old predators, not sure if it's a quality difference, maybe because it's not a "top of the line" cleats. either way, they haven't broken yet, so far they're holding.Not what I was expecting for the Sole plate of the shoe. The cleats were digging into my heel and after the game was sore for a couple days. Dont know if its me just maybe being too big for the shoes, im 6'2 ish about 220 lbs - Fit. The top portion of the show is Great and I love the Modern design and spin off to the Copas, with that being said maybe they need to move the sole plate of the Copas into this show to give it that comfort all of us Copa lovers cant find anywhere else. Other than that this is a great shoe for players who like those light shoes, personally I prefer the Copas to these. but just a personal preference.ProsShoe fits like a glove. I typically get half a size smaller with kangaroo leather so they mold to my feet. Beautiful thing with these cleats is that they fit your feet like a snug glove and after only one game they feel amazing! You don't have to worry about that OJ Simpson glove fit that you get with Nike.. I am flat footed and these provide the necessary arch support for my feet. This is a cool feature that was missing for me in the Copas.ConsNone yet. I typically update this portion of my reviews after a 2 month trial of the product. Stand by..Also, excellent shipping time!My daughter has wider feet than most girls and we discovered that Men's shoes normally are a d width while women's are b width. This has made an amazing difference in the comfort for my daughters feet. She use to form terrible calluses one her big toe and now they are finally going away. She loves these cleats. Se says her touch on the ball feels better and she doesn't think about how much her feet are hurting half way through the game. The cleats are giving her really good grip in muddy conditions and the elastic strap the covers her shoes is keeping her lace tied.Incredibly Comfortable shoes that have a phenomenal touch, but they just absolutely come apart after a month or two. Compared to my most recent pair of Nike cleats which lasted me four years, the Adidas ones are WAY more comfortable, but lasted me about 6 weeks before the toebox began to delaminate from the sole.I've tried getting a hold of both Adidas and the store I bought them from, but neither are willing to help me at all. Sucks. Looks like I'm going back to Nike.These shoes look amazing! Best looking boot out there in my opinion. They appeared narrow, but the leather expands around your feet like a glove. It easily is broken in, but recommended for dry ground or turf. (Not good in the mud/wet ground). Based on the quality of the shoe I'm keeping these for a very long time. Please note that I got these 1/2 size larger and even with inserts (arch support) they fit perfect. I do recommend those with arch/plantar issues to leave 1/2 size larger for your inserts.These are leather and seem to have stretched to fit my son's wide foot - could use some interior padded insole, but I don't think that's very popular in the soccer world. Son seems to like them. Look great.
